dropped a fruit fly in the tube to see if it would eat it and the Pseudoscorpion attacked it right away. This little guy is vicious :razz:

That is amazing! Was the fruit fly alive? or did you stun it?
I had one of these little guys... lost it in its enclosure. It could still be there, there are a lot of mites and things for it to eat..

yes, it was alive. I put it in the tube, went to get my camera, got ten feet and my daughter yelled that it was attacking the fruit fly, by the time I got back with my camera, the fly was dead.

I guess those little venomous pincers pack a punch! It's like a human eating a buffalo...great shots!
